During the course of our lives, we all remain dependent on someone or the other. It may be for food, it may be for shelter or even for financial support. But there comes a time in every person\u2019s life when he\/she has to stop depending on others and start living life on his\/her own terms. However, some people refuse to let go and this is what is known as overdependency. In other words, dependency is to hold on frantically to other people, places or things to offer your life meaning and direction. It involves permitting others to do so much for you that you don\u2019t develop a sense of personal autonomy, freedom and personal liability for your own actions. A codependent relationship, on the other hand, makes you feel like you can\u2019t live without the other person due to your constant need to seek this person\u2019s approval. Codependency is often a way to cope with emotionally scarring episodes from one\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

Dependency is quite a widespread problem nowadays. A lot of people can\u2019t even do the simplest things for themselves anymore \u2013 they can\u2019t cook, can\u2019t paint a room, sew, clean their house etc. The main trend to notice here is that it\u2019s not always a question of \u201cdon\u2019t want to<\/em>\u201d but rather \u201cdon\u2019t know how<\/em>\u201d. Gradually, people have become dependent on others to get their work done in lieu of payment. It\u2019s either this or simply buying another item to replace the old or broken product.<\/p>

Earlier, most people, irrespective of gender, had a fair idea about how to do many things. They needed to in order to survive. Today, only a handful of people are masterful enough to deal with most of the routine repairs and maintenance work. The main problem with dependency is that it slowly eats away your finances. It\u2019s not necessary to be skilled at everything, just a couple of skills that you would need on an everyday basis would work fine.<\/p>
